The MX469 is a full-duplex pin-selectable 1200/2400/4800bps Minimum Shift Key (MSK) Modem for FM radio
links. The mark and space frequencies are 1200/1800, 1200/2400, and 2400/4800Hz respectively. Tone
frequencies are phase continuous; transitions occur at the zero crossing point. The use of a common Xtal
oscillator with a choice of two clock frequencies (1.008MHz or 4.032MHz) provides data-rate, transmit
frequencies, and RX/TX synchronization. The transmitter and receiver operate entirely independently
including individual section powersave functions.
The MX469 includes on-chip circuitry for Carrier Detect and RX Clock Recovery, both of which are made
available at output pins. RX, TX, and Carrier Detect circuits contain bandpass filters to provide high quality
signals in their respective paths. The carrier detect time constant is set by an external capacitor, whose value
should be arranged as required to further enhance this product's performance in high-noise environments.
The MX469 demonstrates high sensitivity and good bit-error-rate under adverse signal conditions.
This low-power device requires few external components and is available in the following packages:
24-pin SOIC (MX469DW), 22-pin PDIP (MX469P), and 20-pin SOIC (MX469D3).

2. Signal List
Signal Type Description
PDWD3
1 1 1 Xtal/Clock input The input to the on-chip inverter, for use with either a
1.008MHz or a 4.032MHz Xtal or external clock. Clock
frequency selection is by the “Clock Rate” input pin. The
selection of this frequency will affect the operational Data
Rate of this device. Refer to Table 3. Operation of any
MX•COM IC without a Xtal or clock input may cause
device damage. To minimize damage in the event of a
Xtal/drive failure, it is recommended that a current
limiting device (resistor or fast-reaction fuse) be installed
on the power supply (VDD).
22 2 Xtal output Output of the on-chip inverter.
3 3 3 TX Sync output A squarewave, produced on-chip, to synchronize the
input of logic data and transmission of the MSK signal
(See Figure 3).
5 5 4 TX Signal output When the transmitter is enabled, this pin outputs the
(140-step pseudo sinewave) MSK signal (See Figure 3).
With the transmitter disabled, this output is set to a high-
impedance state.
6 7 5 TX Data input Serial logic data to be transmitted is input to this pin.
78 6 EnableTX Input A logic ‘0’ will enable the transmitter (See Figure 3). A
logic ‘1’ at this input will put the transmitter into
powersave while forcing “TX Sync Out” to a logic ‘1’ and
“TX Signal Out” to a high-impedance state. This pin is
internally pulled to VDD.
8 9 7 Bandpass output The output of the RX Bandpass Filter. This output
impedance is typically 10k and may require buffering
prior to use.
9 10 8 RX Enable Input The control of the RX function. The control of other
outputs is provided in Table 2
10 11 9 VBIAS power The output of the on-chip analog bias circuitry. Held
internally at VDD/2, this pin should be decoupled to VSS
by a capacitor (C2). See Figure 2 and RX Enable notes.
This bias voltage is maintained under all powersave
conditions.
11 12 10 VSS power Negative supply (GND).
12 13 11 Unclocked Data output The recovered asynchronous serial data output from the
receiver.
13 14 12 Clocked Data output The recovered synchronous serial data output from the
receiver. Data is latched out by the recovered clock,
available at the “RX Sync O/P”. (See Figure 4 and
Figure 6).
14 15 13 Carrier Detect output For 1200 and 2400bps operation only. When an MSK
signal is being received this output is a logic ‘1’. The
Carrier Detect signal should be ignored during 4800bps
operation.
15 16 14 RX Signal input The MSK signal input for the receiver. This input should
be coupled via a capacitor, C3.

Notes:
1. The value of C4 determines the Carrier Detect time constant. A long time constant results in improved
noise immunity but increased response time. C4 may be varied to trade-off response time for noise
immunity.
2. Decoupling circuits depend upon whether the input signal is referenced to VBIAS or VSS. Use C5 when
the input signal is referenced to VBIAS. Use C7 when the input signal is referenced to VSS. It is not
necessary to use both C5 and C7.
3. C6 reduces Xtal voltage overshoot. Reference the MX-COM Xtal Application Note.
4. For best results, a crystal oscillator design should drive the clock inverter input with signal levels of at
least 40% of VDD, peak to peak. Tuning fork crystals generally cannot meet this requirement. To
obtain crystal oscillator design assistance, consult your crystal manufacturer.

5. Application
5.1 Synchronous Modem Design Considerations
The MX469 is an easily applied data pump, which can be used with many protocols. Because it is an MSK, or
minimum shift keying, modem, it achieves a more noise resistant, higher data rate in a narrower bandwidth
than other FSK (frequency shift keying) modems. This characteristic is especially important for wireless
applications because it fundamentally determines the bandwidth of RF transmissions, which are strictly limited
and controlled by regulatory agencies. Using MSK signaling, the MX469 data modem can achieve a 2400bps
data rate within the typical 300-3000 Hz voice band of many common radios.
In order to achieve this advantage, an MSK modem must precisely control the bit rate and timing of the
modulated Tx output signal bits. This control is asserted by the MSK modem with a data clock signal, which
is output, by the modem to pace the Tx data source (e.g. a microcontroller). The data clock signal, in effect,
indicates when the Tx data source should provide the next Tx data bit to the modem. See Figure 9. Because
this type of interface involves the use of a modem generated bit clock signal to control the timing of when new
Tx data bits must be supplied from the data source, the interface is called synchronous.
Another characteristic of a synchronous modem is that, to receive data, it must first learn the data bit timing of
the Rx signal stream before it can accurately demodulate Rx data bits. Accordingly, a synchronous modem
undergoes a period of training or synchronization when it first begins to receive a stream of MSK modulated
signal. During this initial receive phase, the received signal is evaluated over several bit times as the modem
‘locks on’ and achieves proper receive synchronization. The training sequence, called a preamble, is a
specific data pattern which must be added to the ‘front’ of a transmit data stream with the start of each new
transmission. A specific preamble data pattern (e.g. 16 bits of alternating 0,1,0,1… for the MX469) is used to
optimize the training accuracy while minimizing the number of preamble bits required.

Figure 9: Synchronous Transmit Operation
Non-synchronous or asynchronous interfaces are commonly found in wired applications which do not have
the bandwidth efficiency requirements of wireless systems. A well known example is the serial port of a
personal computer which can transmit a 1200 bps (or faster) data signal over a single Tx signal without using
an additional data clock signal to control the precise rate and timing of data bits being transmitted to a typical
telephone line data modem. Popular modem standards such as Bell 202 and v.23 use FSK signaling to pass
such asynchronous serial port data signals over telephone systems.
Another aspect of asynchronous interfaces and modems is that they can carry data streams which are not at
the exact, nominal data rate. For example, a 1200 bps FSK modem will typically operate properly when
supplied with transmit data streams of 1201 bps or 1199 bps.
Because of the differences in synchronous and asynchronous interfaces, they cannot successfully operate if
directly connected. In other words, a personal computer’s RS232 serial port cannot directly interface to an
MSK modem. This is because:
The asynchronous interface may provide data bits too fast or too slow compared to the precise rate
required for MSK signaling (a bit rate, or pacing, incompatibility).
The timing of each specific data bit presented by an asynchronous interface will not be aligned with the
precise bit timing required for MSK signaling (a bit timing incompatibility).
Synchronous and asynchronous interface can be successfully interfaced for applications requiring the
advantages of both. This typically involves the use of data buffering and retiming circuits to resolve the timing
and pacing issues.

CML Product Data
In the process of creating a more global image, the three standard product semiconductor
companies of CML Microsystems Plc (Consumer Microcircuits Limited (UK), MX-COM, Inc
(USA) and CML Microcircuits (Singapore) Pte Ltd) have undergone name changes and, whilst
maintaining their separate new names (CML Microcircuits (UK) Ltd, CML Microcircuits (USA)
Inc and CML Microcircuits (Singapore) Pte Ltd), now operate under the single title CML
Microcircuits.
These companies are all 100% owned operating companies of the CML Microsystems Plc
Group and these changes are purely changes of name and do not change any underlying legal
entities and hence will have no effect on any agreements or contacts currently in force.
CML Microcircuits Product Prefix Codes
Until the latter part of 1996, the differentiator between products manufactured and sold from
MXCOM, Inc. and Consumer Microcircuits Limited were denoted by the prefixes MX and FX
respectively. These products use the same silicon etc. and today still carry the same prefixes.
In the latter part of 1996, both companies adopted the common prefix: CMX.
This notification is relevant product information to which it is attached.
CML Microcircuits (USA) [formerly MX-COM, Inc.] Product Textual Marking
On CML Microcircuits (USA) products, the ‘MX-COM’ textual logo is being replaced by a ‘CML
textual logo.
